When It Happens To You by Molly Ringwald

“When It Happens To You” is Molly Ringwald’s first step into fiction writing and what a wonderful venture it was.

As a child of the 80’s I have always been a fan of the American actress and “Pretty in Pink” is one of my favourite films, so when I heard she was turning her hand to writing, I was curious as to how it would turn out.

“When It Happens To You” is a collection of eight short stories, that initially focus on Greta and Phillip, a couple struggling to conceive their second child but their marriage dissolves amidst an infidelity. The following stories carry on with the couple and their lives a year later, the relationships they encounter and the people they meet along the way.

Beautifully written and wonderfully intertwined, “When It Happens To You” is a poignant yet smart book which is written primarily from a mother’s perspective. The book is packed with infidelity, infertility and forgiveness, giving each short story unique twists and turns, that none of us can predict.

Successfully crossing from popular actress to bestselling author, “When It Happens To You” is a emotionally powerful and inventive book that will you enthralled from the very first page. With an eye-catching cover to boot, this book is guaranteed to get a lot of attention!
